Tuna Question....sorry

Anyone have any recommendations on the length of leader between a bird and a tuna feather lure (i.e. jet head)? I am getting my gear ready for next year and was curious as to what most guys use for length of leader for bluefin.....thanks

Sorry for a tuna question on a striper board.....

Diddo 8 feet, though I haven't caught one yet. I've trolled probably 200 miles for them over the past 2 seasons.

IMHO flouro is a waste of money for trolling.
